Gmail's spam filter gives me maybe 1 false positive per 1k correctly classified ham (I sometimes check the spam folder and this is my impression of the rate). Regularly wiping the same fraction of real users in a service would be a PR disaster and result in users fleeing.

An even worse problem: with email, if a user has an idiosyncratic notion of what's spam, that's fine b/c the classifier can be trained per user. This is impossible for bot removal since that's a global operation, but people have even more idiosyncratic views of what a bad bot is.
